Im going to get rid of the shot pin orient, look like everybody have hard time to make work with centroid.
i just going to get one of those chinese spindle and match drive from Atomation Technologies!

it seem Centroid is more for use with modern Servo VFD.... I just ordered one kit!

You will need a good spindle motor, you'll need a good spindle encoder, good VFD with optional Encoder board and has Spindle orient input capabilities.
And understand how to set it up.

I don't think the shot pin orient was a deal breaker, I would have probably tried to work with that first.
Good luck with your project in any case!
